Joanna Krotka’s Vibrant Digital Illustrations

Polish illustrator Joanna Krotka cites science fiction literature and movies as her biggest inspiration. Her action-packed digital illustrations ring of supernatural adventure, but they vary in range from soft and poetic to vividly nightmarish. Krotka makes many of her illustrations into animated gifs, allowing her to play with alternate patterns and color schemes for an Op Art-influenced effect. One piece featuring an astronaut crashing in his spaceship makes use of the reflections from the broken glass of his shattered windows. The animated sun spots make the work glimmer with a rainbow hue. The rest of the piece is almost a line drawing, minimal in its use of color. Take a look at more of Joanna Krotka’s work below.
